"I didn't catch all of it, I was too far away. But I heard my name, Cade's name, and Phillip saying that my dad agreed to something and that he had to see it through."
"Shit." I sit up and let her words register in my head. "So you were never meant to be his?"
She sits up beside me, her warm hand landing on my lower back. "I don't know. It might have had nothing to do with it. But…"
"It really fucking sounded like it," I finish for her.
"Yeah."
"You need to talk to your dad."
"He's been acting weird since all of this kicked off. When I went home the other weekend, it was obvious he was hiding stuff."
"You think you can get him to talk?"
She shrugs. "He's in Phillip's pocket. If he really is involved in this, then I fear he's going to be as forthcoming with information as everyone else in this gigantic mess."
"I had a feeling you might say that." Dropping my head into my hands, I try to make sense of all of this.
Why would Mia's dad sign her up to be tied to the devil? The way she's talked about him, her childhood, he's only ever wanted the best for her.
Hasn’t he?
"I'll talk to Marcus, see if he knows anything.”
Although I'm not sure why I even suggest it. He's not exactly the sharing type. If he'd have let me into a few of his secrets earlier, I may not have been quite so blindsided by all this.
"You think he'll tell you anything, even if he knows something?" she asks, reading my mind.
"Honestly, no. But he keeps telling me that I need to see this through, so if he wants me to do that then he's going to need to give me some of the facts."
"I guess. Ugh," she groans, pushing from the bed in favor of pacing across the room. "I really hate this. And if I find out my dad let me be a pawn in this game, then…" She trails off, running out of words.
"I know, little mouse," I say, intercepting her and circling my arms around her waist.
She stops and lifts her eyes from my chest and up to my own. "Hey," she says shyly.
"Hey." Lifting my hand, I tuck a stray lock of her hair behind her ear.
Our eyes hold for the longest time, as if neither of us can believe we're really here. Alone. Our chests begin to heave at our closeness, and my cock begins to swell once more with her pressed against me and her scent in my nose.
"Did you have any other ideas for what we could do now you've got me here?"
She bites down on her bottom lip, and I only just about stop myself from sucking it into my own mouth and claiming it as mine.
Right now, I want her words. I want her to tell me what she wants.
"Mostly, I was freaking out and needed to tell someone. But I don't know who to trust anymore and…"
"Hey, it's okay. You can tell me anything, you know that, right?"
"I do, it's just so complicated, Bex. You shouldn't be here—" I tense, half expecting her to suddenly do a one-eighty and kick me out. "If Cade found out then… God. I don't want you on his radar any more than you already are. I just… I need… I don't even know what I—"
I slam my lips down on hers to stop her rambling. My fingers thread into her hair and I use it to move her head so I can lick deep into her mouth.
"Bexley," she moans when I kiss down her neck.
"I could really use a shower. Think you could help me out?"
